Jeff Probst Points to Problems on Survivor: Gabon

The 18th season of Survivor, taking place in Gabon, isn't going swimmingly at the moment.

Host Jeff Probst recently said a crane has fallen over and a cargo hold containing about $100,000 worth of food had gone missing. Oops!

Probst said the Survivor: Gabon crew was also having an issue with something that was already present: wildlife.

"We have a danger problem with animals that we're trying to figure out how to handle," he said. "There's so much truly wild life out there, we're not sure what to do. We don't want the animals around for a safety reasons, but we'd love to have a hippo sneak in every so often. I just got a call from our executive producer that we've got hippo tracks at base camp."

Survivor: Gabon will be filmed in high-definition and is slated to premiere in the fall.
